TEXTILE FABRI C Filed May 6, 1939 INVENTOR [0/5 6. fyy'er m lkmvlATTORNEYS Patented Feb, 27, 1940 j 'UN ITEDITSTATES PATENT' QOFFICE I 3I: "2, 91.9ss 7 l y r I FABRIC v Luis GlEgger, New York, N. Y., assignorto Seneca Textile Corporation, New York, N.'Y., acorporation of New YorkApplica tion Maylfi, 1939, Serial No. 272,103 4 Claims. (01. 156-10)This invention relatesv to textile fabrics, More particularly stated,the invention re lates to the manufacture of a plurality of unit designsorseparable articles in one piece of material,;the designs beingsoarranged andso delineated that they can be separated and the separableportions being so formed that they will not ravel along the separatededges.

,The invention has fo-rits salient object to prov n vide apiece ofmaterial having a plurality of designs so'delineated thereon that theycan be separated into units and will not ravel along the separatededges.

Another object of the invention is to providean article of thecharacter, described so constructed and arranged that it can beeconomically manufactured and marketed.

Another object of the invention is to provide a sheet or web of textilematerial having delineated thereon a plurality of curtain designs,

the designs being spaced by severing lines.

Another object" of the invention is to provide a piece of textilematerial having delineated thereon, by flocking, a plurality of unitdesigns which are spaced apart to facilitate the separation of thedesigns.

Further objects of the invention will appear from the followingspecification taken in connection with the drawing which forms a part ofthis application; and in which Fig. l is a planview of a piece oftextile material embodying the invention;

Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. l but showing the unit designsseparated;

I Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view showing on an enlarged scale one cornerof one of the designs after separation;

Fig. 4 is a View similar to Fig. 3 but showing openings in the marginband to receive curtain rods; v I

. Fig. 5 is a View similar to Fig. 3 but showing another corner of oneof the separated designs;

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 but showing openings formed in themargin to receive the curtain rod; x

Fig. 7 is a fragmentary view of one of the tie strips which forms a partof the piece of material after separation; and

Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 7 but showing an opening in the tiestrip to receive a pin or other securing means. I

. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawing, thepiece of material has delineated thereon two pairs of sash curtains,a1-' tion is not limited to curtains, but is applicable to other uses,such asscarfs; doi1ies,etc.

. The piece of materiallll which maybe formed of any desirable material,"such'as scrim, has delineated thereon a pair of upper sash curtains 5A, A, and a pair of lower sash curtains B, B; These unit designs areformed by flocked bands or borders ll, it along the marginal edges ofthe piece of material and by a longitudinally extending, centrallydisposed flocked band I? and 10 a transversely disposed flocked band l3.The longitudinal band I2 is divided into two marginal portions by acentrally disposed line M which spaces, the margins of the designs A, Aand B, B. The transverse flocked band I3 15 is also divided into two'portions by a line l5 which spaces the marginal bands between theadjacent ends of the unit designs A and B and A and B.

The flocked margin at one end of the designs A, A is scalloped, as shownat l6, and these margins are provided with a series of alined unflockedportions [1 which are adapted to be cut out to form openings forreceiving curtain rods.

The designs B, B have their flocked margins 25 at one end, as shown atl8, provided with a plurality of circular unflocked alined'portions I9which are adapted to be cut out to form openings for the curtain rod onwhich the curtains B, B are hung.

At the right hand end of the piece of material shown in Fig. 1 there aredelineated by flocked margins 20 a pair of tie strips C and D havingunflocked circular portions 2| at the end of each strip, which areadapted to be cut out to receive securing means for the ends of theties.

Fig. 3 illustrates one corner of one of the curtain designs A or 'A"before the unflocked alined portions I! are cut out, and Fig. 4illustrates the same corner showing the openings 25 formed after thesealined unflocked portions are cut out.

Figs. 5 and 6 are similar views illustrating the corner of one ofthecurtains B, B, Fig. 6

by cutting out the unflocked portion 2|". 50

The material shown in Fig. 1 having the flocked marginal portionsthereon is out along the lines l4 and I5 to divide or separate the unitsA, A and B, B. This material is also out along the line formed betweenthe flockedband l8 and 5 the flocked margin 20 of the tie strips and thetie strips are also out or separated.

The flocking which is used to delineate the designs prevents anyraveling at the cut edges when the designs are separated and thusprovides a very cheap and economical construction. It is obvious that asingle unit, such as a curtain, may be provided with flocked margins oredges which will prevent raveling.

After the units have been separated the openings 25, 2B and 21 areformed in the manner above described.

Although one specific embodiment of the invention has been particularlyshown and described, it will be understood that the invention is capableof modification and that changes in the construction and in thearrangement of the various cooperating parts may be made withoutdeparting from the spirit or scope of the invention, as expressed in thefollowing claims.

What I claim is:

1. A piece of textile material having delineated thereon a plurality ofseparable units, each unit having a flocked border, spaced from flockedborders of the units adjacent thereto, the flocking serving to preventraveling of the textile material when said material is out. 1

2. A piece'of textile material having a flocke border band and having aseries of alined de-' lineated unflocked portions surrounded by theflocking adapted and arranged to becut out to form openings 'forreceiving curtainrods, the

flocking serving to prevent raveling of the textile material when saidmaterial is cut. l

3. A piece of textile materialadapted to form a curtain and having aflocked band extending across said piece, said band having an'alinedvrow of-unflocked portions enclosed by the flocking and adapted when outout to form openings,

to receive a curtain rod, the flocking preventing raveling of thematerial when said'material is' out.

4. A piece of textile material having delineated out medially to formthe separate designs, the

flocking preventing the material from raveling' when cut.
